Toronto councillor wants “white and male” politicians replaced on Canadian currency
The motion, which is entitled “Diversification of Depictions on Canadian Coins and Bills to better reflect a more Heterogeneous and Inclusive Society,” asks the City of Toronto to urge the Bank of Canada and the Royal Canadian Mint to print currency that better reflects “multicultural, gender diverse and multiracial” values.
Free Speech Under Threat: The Real Consequences of Steven Guilbeault’s Battle with the Web Giants
My new Macleans op-ed notes that government legislation tends to attract a wide range of responses. Some bills grab the spotlight and become sources of heated debate for months, while others fly under the radar screen with few Canadians taking notice. Until recently, Bill C-10, the government’s Broadcasting Act reform bill, fell into the latter category. Introduced last November as part of Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault’s mission to “make web giants pay”, the bill was steadily and stealthily working its way through the Parliamentary process with only a few days of “clause by clause” review left before a final reading and vote in the House of Commons.

I have to say I assume that many jurors either either lied outright or simply were unaware of their preconceived notions or the strength of them and how that would affect their ability to be fair in Chauvin’s trial. This is always a hazard in a high-profile emotionally- and politically-laden case such as Chauvin’s. It’s one of the reasons the judge should have bent over backwards to do everything he could to minimize the risk, such as changing the venue or at the very least allowing more challenges for cause when jurors seemed to have biases.
‘Deplorable’ professor creates ‘anti-indoctrination mill’ with new education startup
Michael Rectenwald got himself chased out of New York University when the self-identified communist copped to tweeting against trigger warnings, safe spaces and bias reporting under the pseudonym “Deplorable NYU Prof.”
The professor left two years ago with a golden parachute — the result of a legal settlement with the private university that included a retirement package.
He’s not content anymore with just writing polemical books and fiction in retirement. Now Rectenwald is scouting for academics to join an educational startup, American Scholars, that is launching this summer.
